Eva is a bright little girl: she observes her class-mates and notices that one of them is great at drawing, another at singing, a third can run really fast, a fourth can do math with lightning speed. A fifth is as brave a fairy-tale hero, a sixth seems to know just everything… and then along comes number seven… These types of (big and small!) children are truly special, because their great hearts are full of friendship, generosity and com-passion. Eva, the hero of Snowflakes, belongs to this group.

Can we go for a walk? Can you read me a bedtime story? Can you help me…?No time! Recognize the answer? Tim the Bear would like to tell his friends that they won’t be seeing each other for a while – but his friends, who are too tied up in their everyday tasks, don’t have a minute, a second, a hundredth of a second for him. But the virtuous bear just wants to say goodbye… When he returns, he doesn’t take revenge on the friends who had not even a moment for him – he invites them over to talk, so there won’t be any misunderstanding, if they had taken a few moments for a friend… “We should talk more so that nobody would ever be mad at anybody.” Doesn’t this thought, which is written at the end of the story, apply to all of us?

The story Timmy the Bunny is about a master chef who decides one morning to follow his dreams and set out for the tallest mountain in the land in search of a magic recipe. On the way he is helped by his animal friends and by the recipes he cooks up from the ingredients in his bundle: his “Speedy Paws” banana smoothies will provide him with energy, his “Sharp-Eye” carrot soup will help him see better in the dark, his “Bright-Light” blueberry muffins will help him solve a riddle, and his “Mighty Muscles” spinach bread will give him the strength to climb to the top of the tallest mountain in the land to seek out the eagle who will hand over the magic recipe for “Yummy, Yummy Chocolate Cake” – which he will bake and share with all his friends back in the woods.

The Beany is a can that is flung into the courtyard of a rabbit celebrating his birthday. He is expect-ing guests, and becomes terribly angry the mo-ment he sees her. He decides to take her into the forest. The celebration is at its height, and the only one missing is the girl rabbit. She is late, because she notices a can on the ground on her way to the rabbit’s. She takes it home, and soon arrives at the celebration and excitedly presents the rabbit with his gift. The rabbit opens it and cannot believe his eyes. There is that bean can again, but this time, there are flowers planted in her. ‘Do you like it?’ The girl rabbit asks the rabbit sweetly. The rabbit responds: ‘Very much, I will put her someplace special.’

The Bunny seriesBy Helena Kraljič, illustrated by Cee Biscoe, translated into English by Jason Blake.

A fine animal tale that speaks of playfulness and but also of and forgive-ness. And about something else – about the importance of gathering courage and telling your friends: “I’m sorry...”

Everything was going wrong for Bobby Bunny. Right after he woke up, he broke his alarm clock, stubbed his paw, then dropped and shattered his favourite glass…He was so mad he didn’t want to see anybody. But his friends didn’t hold it against him, and they were delighted, later on, when Bobby brought a birthday cake to their party. Each one of us can have a day like this – we wake up on the wrong side of the bed and everything seems to go wrong.

Bobby Bunny found a box in the woods. It was pleasing to him, so he wanted to keep it. He took it home with him. But Bobby felt guilty all night long. He was constantly thinking that somebody surely missed it badly. The next morning, he decided he was going to find the owner.

A donkey only goes onto the ice onceBy Helena Kraljič, illustrated by Adriano Janežič, translated into English by David Limon, Ph.D.,translated into German by Christiane Leskovec Redek, Ph.D.

This is a story that has won the hearts of the young and the old. The plot is based on a very simple idea: a donkey that overhears a child mention a saying about him wants to find out what that saying really means. As in every true folk tale, the donkey sets out on a journey, meeting speak-ing animals on the way (a snake, a cat, a wolf, a hen, a dog, a sparrow, a horse). He asks every single one of these animals what the saying about him means. As expected (psychologically well-conceived and argued), every ani-mal the donkey meets on his journey only knows a saying or two about itself, but does not care for other animals.

This is a story about a lost goat that has no one to bleat or graze with. One night, she is sure she hears voices and bleats back. She is convinced she has found her friend. She even asks the rabbit to help her find this friend. Then she asks the chamois and the ibex to help her. Their screaming attracts the attention of the eagle, who flies over the mountains. The eagle calls to Greta’s friend in a hoarse voice. It finally dawns on Greta, the rabbit, the ibex, and the chamois that the hoarse echoing voice is coming from the eagle. Greta is very sad because she has not found her friend. The rabbit, the chamois, and the ibex give her a big hug and reassure her that she can always count on them.

It seems there are not enough stories about dinosaurs. The children keep reaching for them and demanding them over and over again. The story introduces carnivorous and herbivorous dinosaurs. The carnivores unite and decide to take over the world, making the herbivores almost too afraid to breathe. In their terrible fear of the carnivores, the herbivores think of a trick. They decide to throw a bone to the carnivores. There is an inscription on the bone, saying that only the scariest of the carnivores can have it. This makes them quarrel terribly, because every dinosaur thinks the bone belongs to him. The herbivores’ trick has worked, and the dinosaurs are happy that common sense won this time.

A Tattling Tale is both a tale and a no-tale.A fanciful game where famous fairy tales and their heroes are gossiped about, taken apart and refreshed in original ways through witty rhymes. In short, the tales of Snow White, Cinderella, the Sleeping Beauty, monsters and dragons become the topics of a poet’s gossip.And yet this gossip is much more than mere light-heart-ed, entertaining tattle about tales.It is a glance through a magic camera somewhere beyond, and back inside ourselves.Indeed, tattling about tales, unmasking and virtually denying them, takes us back in playful and per-ceptively refreshed ways to the essence of fairy tales.

Curious why a boot is not a bootee or a foot a footsie? Who rules over rain, and how shoes grow? About ghost cuisine and birthday cakes? Or where to find rhymes that can hide five white kittens? Just open Kittysnippets wide and embark on fancy’s flight ...

Doctor Bear wakes up from his winter’s sleep. Happily, he peeks out of his hole and is surprised to see a queue of complaining animals. The squirrel is here to see him because she fell out of her drey when men were cutting down trees, and hurt her leg. The fox stepped on a can and cut herself. The otter almost choked on a plastic bag that was swimming in the water. The wild boar was grazed by a bullet, the wolf barely escaped a fire, and the stork was poisoned from eating a poisoned grain. The only time Doctor Bear can take a break is in the evening, but his son tugs at his hand and asks the bear to show him around the forest. While taking a stroll through the woods, they cross paths with a man pointing at them with a shotgun, and the bear swings at him with his paw. The headline in the paper the next day is: Rampant bear attacks a man!

Dyslexia

Illustrated by Maja Lubi

Because they think with the right side of the brain, people with dyslexia solve problems differently than others do. Dyslexia hinders one’s ability to read and to understand what is written. Experts note that there are more and more cases of dyslexia and that the frequency of its occurrence has risen significantly in the past decade (5-10% of children). That is why this story is to be welcomed. It is a story about a boy who is dyslexic. About a boy who is faced with difficulties when he reads, writes, or does math. About a boy who is sometimes saddened by this. And about a boy who is sometimes happy to remember that he is as able as statesmen like Winston Churchill and George Washington. Scientists like Thomas Edison and Michael Faraday. Writers like Walt Disney and Hans Christian Anders-en. Painters like Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci. Actors like Tom Cruise and Leonardo DiCaprio. And the famous chef Jamie Oliver.

John Is DifferentA Story of a Boy with Autism

Autism is not a disease but a developmental disorder. This means that children with autism, including John, develop differently, especially in those areas which are impor-tant for social interaction in the community. This picture book clearly shows that John is not different because he chooses or wishes to be, but because he doesn’t know differently. He retreats into his own world because it is the only one where he feels comfortable and safe. In that world there are no ‘words’ he does not understand, no stimuli which are hurtful for him, and no changes that are difficult to adapt to. John Is Different will help children and parents look at the peculiarities of children with autism in a different light and thus offer these ‘special ones’ the possibility to become part of our communal world. That will make the world richer and more beautiful for all.

The Postman series

The first story from the postman series turns the story around! Why should Santa Claus always have to get letters? In this story Santa writes a letter to a child! The postman, however, has a difficult task. How will he find the Most Humble child, the one to whom the letter is addressed? Whenever he visits children, he realizes that their wishes aren’t humble at all. A computer! A stereo! A castle for princesses! The postman fears that he won’t be able to deliver the letter. Fortunately, however, after plenty of searching he finds the Most Humble boy, a boy who wrote in his letter that he wished that Santa would write him back.

The second story from the postman series is about a letter that the postman has to deliver to the Tooth Fairy. Because there’s no address on the letter, the postman has to head off to find out where the Tooth Fairy lives. He meets the Forest Fairy Fiona, the Flower Fairy Far-rah… but not until he meets the the Water Fairy Wendy does he find out where the Tooth Fairy lives. On a cloud. The postman goes back home, distraught, because for the first time in his life he won’t be able to deliver a let-ter. But while feeding the pigeons the next day, he realizes that perhaps they could help him.

By Helena Kraljič, illustrated by Suzi Bricelj, translated into English by Jason Blake.

A lie can bury you so deeply that it gives rise to something new, and that's exactly what happens in this story. How the Lie Grew is about a little boy who lied to his parents. He asked them for money to pay for guitar lessons, but instead used the money to buy a model car. And this first, innocent, lie grew by the day until it began to smother him. The parents are proud of their little guitarist. Grandma's proud of him and even buys him a guitar of his own. His uncle is proud of him and buys him a guitar stand. His neighbours and friends are proud of him... But the lie is revealed at his father’s birthday party. Relatives, friends, and parents are left speechless. Though Ben is ashamed, at the same time he feels relieved because the heavy weight he has been carrying around on his chest has finally rolled off.

By Helena Kraljič, illustrated by Daša Simčič, translated into English by Jason Blake.

This story takes us to the sky. The sun is just setting in the west. He meets a little cloud, and kindly invites him to his birthday party. The sun is so impatient he can not fall asleep from all the excitement and expectations. This causes complete chaos – the people are angry, and the children don

,t want to go to bed. The first one to talk to the sun is a star.

She chides him, but when she sees how hard the sun is really trying to fall asleep, she offers to help. The star teaches him to count sheep. It always helps her, she tells him. But the sun still cannot fall asleep. He is sad and he moans. Then, the moon comes puffing by, and you would not believe how angry she is! When she sees it is not the sun’s fault that sleep will not come, she offers to make him cocoa. Sadly, even cocoa cannot help the sun to fall asleep. The sun is getting more and more sad and whiny. Finally, the wind comes whistling by ... and it has the perfect cure. One that always helps the children of the world, and will surely help the sun as well. The wind reads him a story about the sun that could not sleep.
